So - like most people probably do here - I scrolled down to see what sort of ridiculous drivel was being posted in the discussion boards.

Saw this one and my first thought was "Very creative -but total BS of course"
Promptly forgot about it but filed it away for later...

So today the market plunges 300+ points and I remembered this so of course had to get it posted for posterity Went back today and tracked the story
down with CNN's search and flipped through the comments till I found it:

It's on page 14 of the comments

dudestski My name is Marc and I live in the year 2067. I'm using a time "fold" which allows me to connect with real time data from 2011and I'm
writing on this blog to tell you that you have unknowingly captured the last living creature that will prove to produce the only working vaccine to
successfully eradicate a future viral outbreak the world will soon know as EBOVX aka an evolved form of the Ebola virus which has wiped out 35% of the
world's population as of today July 15, 2067. You must return it to its' natural habitat for the sake of our survival! None of which I state is
false and to prove this, an event in history which is marked by a stock market crash will arrive in the timeline this Friday September 9th known as
real start of the "Great Recession". I implore you to act for there is September 6, 2011 at 2:08 pm | Report abuse | Reply

I do wonder how many crocs there are out there that could possibly be this big...
Maybe it's the oldest alive or has some sort of ancient DNA string from a particular heredity line?
I would love it if somebody knew how old this thing is...to get that friggin big

Predicting a stock market fall is hardly credible is it, I mean it is a 33% chance. The stock market either falls, stays steady or increases and in
todays envirmoent it mostly falls. Just some wako animal activist.

Yeah - I agree...how would he know that this animal produced a working vaccine if it dies in captivity (or unless we released it later or they had
fossilized remains or something)
Of course if you really want to get sci-fi there could always be some sort of crazy crossing of multiple realities or something...(hell if they can
"bubble" data back in time in the future then I guess that makes a lot of things possible)

Just thought it was an interesting concept...my prevailing feeling is that it's someone that was bored and just a little more creative or loopy than
your average poster

[None of which I state is false and to prove this, an event in history which is marked by a stock market crash will arrive in the timeline this

Sounds like a stupid kid to me. Reply back to them and warn him of the dangers of not staying in school or studying history. He should be more worried
about another "Great Depression" Not Great Recession...
